These were the reviews from In The Blink Of An Eye Fanzine #2 (#1 was a brief one pager that a few of these reviews appeared in originally). After a few issues of What Was Said, I switched names and tried pretty unsuccessfully to reboot the fanzine. A lot of the same problems that plagued WWS were all over this one too. This came out in the summer of 1998. I am thinking late in the month of August perhaps? I did not do another fanzine for about eight months before the first issue of Parade Brigade Fanzine came together.…

We put out Parade Brigade Fanzine #1 in the spring of 1999. I have no idea what show we released it for, but I think it was at Manville Elks Lodge. Maybe. Amendment 18 Demo This band has members of a number of bands (Insted, Chorus Of Disapproval, Outspoken, etc) I had different expectations for this demo expecting more moshy stuff, but I got straight forward hardcore with interesting breakdowns. Lyrically, this isn’t as “militant,” as xChorusx was, but good all around especially “Eulogy.” I look forward to more. BW Bane Holding This Moment Equal Vision Records Bane sort of…

It’s so funny to me that my students still go to this thing and are super psyched on it. Back in the nineties, this seemed so corporate and annoying. I cannot even imagine what it is like now, but I guess FESTS are this massively normal thing now, so whatever. No one seems to blink an eye either at the expense of these shows either. I only went to this because I got onto some kind of promotional guest list. The local record store got some passes so they gave me one and a few friends of mine got them…

I got it in the mail, listened a few times, and posted one morning on the Rev Board that I did not like it. I said it reminded me of Better Than A Thousand and was kind of shitty. I went to class and came back to this huge thread about what a fag/loser/pussy I was. LOL. Oh noes, I didn’t like your precious friend’s band and their…

Who took this photo? Please let me know! Oh geez, that horrible “pre-mosh” look on my face! Sweet Straight Ahead shirt though. And look at the motley crew singing along in that picture! 97a’s final show came in the weeks after 9-11 and was, I think, my first show since a series of horrific events (frankly, by the 11th a terrorist attack was the least of my concerns when your best friend was dead and another had tried to commit suicide as well) of the first part of the month. The show was in far, far, north New Jersey and…

Things have been slow around here lately. Some of it is lack of motivation, a lot of that stems from a decent downswing in readers/listeners, but also in content. I have not had a lot to say lately for some reasons that, maybe, I will write about sometime. *** Real Cops Demo Excellent NJHC that reminds me of bands like Full Speed Ahead and Tear It Up (who members of this band were in). I see a lot of potential here. *** Sucked Dry Demo Wow, another band that sounds like Cold Sweat is a big influence on them. Obviously, other bands like Crossed Out and Rorschach are also big influences. I…

On Parade, Straight Ahead, Youth Of Today
On Parade Demo Another band with a big spoiler alert in their band name. On Parade are definitely going for the energetic late 80’s style that bands like Straight Ahead,Youth of Today, and others really set the standard in. The raw recording really helps this a lot. I would be interested in hearing more from them.

Free Spirit, Our Gang, Straight Ahead, Youth Of Today
Free Spirit Demo Young band from New England playing straight edge hardcore in the vein of bands like Our Gang, Straight Ahead, and Youth of Today. Not entirely derivative, there is also a modern sensibility to the music that keeps it sounding fresh. During the famed 95-97 period, I bet this band would have blown up.
